I will certainly attend again next year. The drive on the track was a lot of fun, and the campfire the night before had some very interesting discussions. Need to make sure everybody gets this on their calendar.

I’ll will pencil in that date only if I can hang my hammock in the trees again. We will need more fire wood this time.

Maybe I'll bring the car on a trailer and that way I can bring some firewood in the back of the Dodge.... and save the sticky tires I'm hoping to have on the car for
autocross this year! If I could just figure out a way to pull the car AND the tent trailer I'd be golden!

Eagerly awaiting more news on the location of Luftgekuhlt 7 May 31st and hoping it might be commutable.

A friend sent me this, a previous 914 parade at Mosport circa 1973.

Hey David, thanks for posting the Mosport memory. Yup, that's the Labatt's 50 1973 GP of Canada.

Great YouTube video below of all the famous drivers being paraded in 914s.
I used the video to help recreate these Labatt 50 Grand Prix of Canada door cards for our pace car tribute at the CanAm in tribute to Eppie Wietze as the first pace car in F1.

Here's an excerpt from an email I sent to the SIG914 group last year prior to our event:

So, by now you know we are doing parade laps of CTMP as part of the 914 50th Celebration, and you probably also know we are parading behind a recreation of the 914 Pace Car from the 1973 Grand Prix of Canada, but did you also know that a fleet of 914s were used to parade the famed drivers around the track in the '73 Grand Prix?

Check out this YouTube video at the 6:34 mark. Great stuff!!!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Please welcome Michael W. to our SIG914 group. Michael purchased a stalled restoration project from Mike's 914s - a '73 2.0. Mike reports the chassis is super solid. He is looking for someone reputable in Southern Ontario willing to take on a complete rebuild of his engine.
On a related note, congratulations to David Stewart for taking over Autosparks European car service in Guelph! We look forward to getting some 914s out to one of his upcoming driving tours.
Don't forget to chime in here with what you're up to with your 914 as we count down to spring!

Anyone interested in fractional ownership of the Duval car?? Selling the house and liquidating everything is just not going to produce the $ necessary to score this remarkable beauty. It sure would be nice to see the car land back in the hands of Jacques, Bob or George. I really hope these guys can be reunited with the car at Daytona in 2021 for the 50th anniversary of their win.
Thanks to Mark H for sharing the link regarding the upcoming auction of this important piece of Porsche history.

No surprise, we are entering a new era of 914 appreciation.

It's official! The 24 Minutes of Le Mans 50th Anniversary parade lap celebration of the Sonauto 914-6 GT victory will happen August 2 at Mosport!!!

Attached Image


This is a PCA function, so if you'd like to participate and are not a member JOIN NOW!

This is your opportunity to get on track at the world famous Mosport Grand Prix Circuit!

I will continue to edit/update the first post for people browsing and will continue to post updates here chronologically.

Be prepared to have your trigger finger ready to register early once registration opens online limited to 50 cars - details will follow but registration will likely open June 14th, 50 years after the 1970 Le Mans victory!!!

In other news, mark your calendar now for the Upper Canada Region PCA Annual Picnic, happening June 13th at Boyd Conservation Area, also celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Le Mans victory! Plan to get your 70's groove on with vintage clothes and soak in some French atmosphere with great Porsches.

John I'll be at Hershey because it's close. If you go and you are there Friday night there is usually a get together dinner. Hey on another note I was having a beer at my home Mountain of Camelback last weekend and struck up a conversation and the couple that I was talking to the husband/boyfriend holds the record in the EP class at Mosport his name is Rick Kavitski SCCA Small world!!
